Okay so I finally got to drive my car. I only took it to the gas station about 4KM away. I drove there just cruisin and opened it up once to about 4psi. Got to the gas station and I was seeing 180*.
After I left the gas station i opened it up again to about 5psi and it started painting the road so I let off.(im just easing into it)

Upon pulling into my driveway I am seeing 210-215*.

I have a griffen 3 core...15x28x3, 1 pusher, one puller fan (1600CFM each), 160* T-stat. I have bled the coolany twice. I also did bleed it once more after the cruise and didnt get much outta it.
I also have the entire hotside header wrapped.

What are you guys going to keep temps down (mainly the guys with T6's and griffen rads)

Side note boost is amazing! I have only taken it to 5psi and slowly into it but it just keeps pulling and pulling!

Mine runs real cool everything wrapped and a blanket. He was doing about 6 solid hrs of driveability tuning on a mustang dyno with not problems with little boost but a nice loaded dyno with a smaller fan.

Never got above the middle of the gauge me driving on the street pry about 170ish

 

I have a 97ss MM6 383 with a D1. Not turbo-charger, but, I moved the rad (Be_Cool 4 core) forward, and, went to Evans NPG waterless. Also no thermostat with this set-up (I fabbed the mod). Astounding capacity for heat removal, and, drops the threat of knock and hot spots in the cylinder heads. I think it is the way to go for a street FI system. I did this after reading Ray Bohaz's book on engine cooling. A tubo dumps alot of heat under the hood. The added space of the rad move really helped keep the heat off the engine and allowed better air flow. B.

 

IM gonna try water wetter, and get an overflow on the car so I can hold a bit more coolant. Hopefully I can figure something out, last year I saw 176* N/A drivin around and about 190-195 after crusing for about 2-3 hours highway.

jay, get a turbo blanket, it will help a LOT. i dropped 20* engine bay temp by adding a blanket to the t70.

I went back to N/A though for now :-(

 

Yea i was gonna get one before i paint the car, but im thinkin thats gonna help me too.

So much money to spend but my funds are killing me!
I should sell my damn gixxer 750!

Jay

 

Blankets help a assload. Worth every penny.

 

I hope so. I just ordered one from Jose about 10 minutes ago

So tried water wetter and more bleeding, took the trans cooler off the rad, still the same.
I had the lower rad hose header wrapped and when i took it off after like 1 hour the hose was still warm, so i took that off
The lower hose had a slight kink so i angled that some more.

Now do those thermacool universal turbo blankes work? I went to a local speed shop and they are only 50CDN, im just sceptical bc the ones online are like 175USD.

These....i dont know if it will fit tho!

I doubt they will fit. Something you could do for a tempo. fix is a heat shield. Search over on TTF theres a writeup on how tod o it with a stainless steel pot

 

Still have radiant heat. I bought mine off ebay like 100 bux or something.

 

OKay I put the air damn back on (sits 3 inches behind the rad tho) changed the lower rad hose so there is no more steel hose, and changed both fans to pullers.

I idled the car to about 210* flipped the fans on and it dropped to 170ish.

I let the car idle for about 10-15min then took it on a 10-15min drive boosting it 3 times and it say maybe 200* after being boosted. I am still waiting on my turbo blanket so hopefully this completes it!

It slowly crept down in temp after driving normal too.

I turned it up to 8psi on 19.5* timing and OMG the car is fast! I cant seem to connect to the PCM to tune tho! I had no issues then one day it was like f-u! I wanna add some timing to the car so i can tune it.

Jay

 

well go figure thats fixed and now my transmission is fried! driving normal too!

Just thinking out loud. Is there a 3" air gap between the rad and air dam? If there is a gap where high pressure ram-air can bypass below the rad then maybe you could block that off with some sheet metal. I think that would help build pressure in front of the rad and net better flow through the radiator core. If that is unclear I can sketch what I'm thinking.

Sorry to hear about the trans.
